Why is mindset important in developing positive habits, especially regarding Accounting Exams?
Your fixed beliefs about you will hold you back from making positive change. If you have a trait that you believe cannot be changed, such as your intelligence, or your bad habits, you will avoid situations that could possibly be uncomfortable or that you think that are useless. Such as your success in Accounting Exams.
In a fixed mindset, people believe their qualities are fixed traits and therefore cannot change. These people document their intelligence and talents rather than working to develop and improve them. They also believe that talent alone leads to success, and effort is not required.
Alternatively, in a growth mindset, people have an underlying belief that their learning and intelligence can grow with time and experience. When people believe they can get smarter, they realize that their effort has an effect on their success, so they put in extra time, leading to higher achievement.

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT: Amazing Top Tips for Passing Your Exams from a Marketing Tutor!
I sat down and went though a whole host of topics with the amazing Peter Sumpton from Marketing Study Lab to chat about the similarities/ differences between Accounting and Marketing regarding the fundamentals of studying, completing assignments and passing exams. 
We wanted to get across the importance of these topics and we covered:
- Answering the Task Given, Not Your Own

- What style should your answer be written in

- Check the word / page count and sticking to it

- Doing your research

- Check the weighting of each question

- Don’t waffle and get to the point

- Use real life examples

- Reference correctly
And if that isn't enough we finish off with a Father Ted discussion and who doesn't want that!

Passing Exams; Perspectives from a Marketing Tutor

So often in the shadows when the boxer succeeds and is more likely to be front and center when the boxer fails. 


The cornerman must have detachment from their boxer, but at the same time an unwavering devotion to that boxer’s well-being. 


They must be a psychologist, able to assist the fighter through the emotional minefield that is the preparation for combat. 


A Strategist, a General, able to see what it’s going to take to secure victory and offering the kind of tactical advice that can be put into practice in the crucible of battle.


In this conversation with fellow Accounting Exam "Cornerman" Yvonne Starkey, a fellow Chartered Accountant/ Lecturer/ Coach from South Africa we chatted about our businesses and our Accounting Student clients


- Why we like working with Accounting Students

- What do we say to students who worry that we will judge them

- Would we employ people who failed their exams
